Sadly too many women are on the road to burnout or are just a breath away from it.  But most of them don't even realise it.

All too often it takes hitting the brick burnout wall for us to realise.  By that time it's too late.

So how can we actually stop burnout before it starts?  

My guest is here to tell us how.  As a burnout survivor, Dr Jacqueline Kerr left her position as a public health professor in 2018 after her burnout experience and is now on a mission to dismantle the causes of working mother burnout.

Her TEDx talk provides solutions that we can all use to change the social norms around burnout and I’m delighted that she’s here to share these insights with you.

Her 20-year experience as a behavioural scientist combined with her own personal burnout experience means that Dr Kerr has a powerful perspective on burnout that you're going to want to hear.

She went from stay-at-home mum of 25 years to successful business owner in just 5 years!

It’s easy to lose yourself in motherhood and fall into the unhelpful narrative that being a mother disadvantages you in your career and in business.  But today’s guest is here to prove the motherhood advantage - that the skills we pick up in motherhood allow us to become exceptional business leaders.
 
Today I’m joined by Maxine Laceby the Founder and CEO of Absolute Collagen.
 
Maxine went from stay-at-home mother of twenty-five years, to boiling up bones at her kitchen table for the collagen benefits, to a leading beauty entrepreneur. She has taken the market by storm, building a credible and ever-growing beauty business, turning over £1M in just one short year, and over £20M just a few years later.
 
Maxine runs the business with the help of her two daughters and they now enjoy the massive success that they built from their family kitchen table.

I’m delighted that Maxine joins us today to share all about why she thinks the skills we pick up in motherhood make us brilliant in business.

What about the dads?

Recent research shows that 1 in 10 new dads will experience some symptoms of post-natal depression and 39% of expectant dads are concerned about their mental health.

The mental health of men is still overlooked with suicide remaining the biggest killer of men under the age of 45, and 12.5% of men in the UK suffering from depression and anxiety. 

New dads are particularly vulnerable as financial and work pressures coupled with a huge life change can have a significant impact. Dad’s poor mental health negatively impacts support for mothers and the development of children.

So today’s conversation is a much-needed one. My guest is Elliott Rae.

Elliott is an author, speaker and founder of MusicFootballFatherhood the UK’s most exciting parenting and lifestyle platform for men.  

Elliott is encouraging open conversations about fatherhood. His book Dad; Untold Stories of Fatherhood, Love, Mental Health and Masculinity is a must-read. Each chapter is a story from a different dad and takes you on a journey - each dad bears his soul and they are deeply personal stories.  

Elliott was diagnosed with PTSD after the traumatic birth of his daughter. It’s that experience that has led him to dedicate his life’s work to creating spaces for more open conversations around fatherhood and changing the narrative.. 

This episode launches on Father’s Day week in the UK and this is the most incredible way to acknowledge and celebrate fathers and I can’t wait to dive into this conversation.

I pulled the ripcord on my career. 

It was only years later that I realised what influenced me to leave a highly lucrative career that I was succeeding in.

I didn’t like what I saw when I looked up.

What I mean by that is that I couldn’t see female leaders that represented how I envisaged my life to be.

In this episode, I share the personal impact of not having positive working mother role models.  I explore why it's vital for organisations to support and promote them too.

Let’s give ourselves, and others, relatable, positive and attainable role models for when we look up.

Because our daughters are looking up too.

Motherhood triggers false assumptions that women are less committed to their careers and even less competent.

It’s not only damaging if you’re a working mother but also if you’re a leader in an organisation where these unconscious biases are being lived out.

So in this episode, we’re going to be exploring what maternal bias is and the common ways it shows up in the workplace. And what do if you experience it or see it happening to others.

This episode celebrates International Women's Day 2022 which is all about #breakingthebias

One of the things that I struggled to understand when I hit burnout was how! How did this happen?

I got fiercely curious about it. How could I stop it from happening again if I don't know how I ended up there.

I had a great husband, wonderful kids, a house, a great job. I had everything I wanted right?

Except I had nothing for me!

I didn't allow myself any time or space outside of being a parent, partner or professional.

Can you relate?

Every found yourself comparing yourself to other mothers and feeling like you're falling short?

In this episode, I'm sharing insights into the Ancient Greeks and modern psychology in the context of motherhood and they’re guaranteed to open up a whole new way of thinking for you.

I'm going to be sharing how to discover your mothering style so that you can free yourself up to do this working mother thing on your own terms.

Every mother has strengths and struggles. But what about your strengths and your struggles? That's where knowing your mothering style can be powerful.

And we have to start exploring your personality type to help uncover it.

Knowing your mothering style helps you to:

* be more realistic and accepting of your struggles (we all have them!)
* free you from the stress and guilt about not measuring up to the myth of the perfect mother
* learn how to re-charge and protect your energy
* strengthen your parent-child and co-parenting relationships
* navigate the demands of your life with more ease based on your individual needs

This episode will help you to embrace your natural preferences and instinctive self and stop comparing yourself to other mothers. Empowering you to be the best version of yourself as a mother!

I used to have a guilty secret. That secret is I hate goal setting. I really don’t enjoy it. And I rarely do it.
I know it’s weird for a coach to admit right?

But having a direction in which you’re heading is really powerful - I think we can all probably agree with that.

The old - “if you don’t know where you’re going you can end up anywhere” - quote.

So for a few years, I beat myself up about not enjoying or wanting to set goals. At times I forced myself to do goal setting but it just felt really inauthentic and incongruent.

And I’ve got big dreams, hopes and intentions. So how do you create a life you love if you don't set goals??!?

That’s what I’m going to be exploring in this episode. I’m going to be sharing an alternative approach if you too don’t get fired up about goal setting.

It’s based on an exercise I did with my first ever executive coach nearly 20 years ago now and it’s no underestimate to say it was life-changing - and I don’t use that term lightly as I know it’s one that can be thrown around.

This podcast episode is for you if you want to approach 2022 (or anytime if you’re not listening when this launches in January) in a way that gives you the freedom to rise above all the noise of new year’s resolutions and really focus on what’s important to you in your life and work.

It would be easy to just walk away from this year and close the door on it without looking back, hoping that I never have another year like this again.

But as difficult as it has been, there have been some deeply profound and important lessons that I want to take from this year. And my guess is that it's the same for you too.

If I walked away without reflecting on them I'd lose the goodness in those lessons, and I didn't want to do that.

So come join me in my last podcast of 2021 as I share my life lessons.

You can listen to the episode here: https://wisdomforworkingmums.co.uk/73 or via itunes, stitcher or spotify. Or you can find it on most other podcast platforms and apps.

I hope that they help you reflect on your year too. So we can carry what we need to into 2022 and leave behind what we need to as well.

In this episode I share:

How this year has made me rethink resilience

How I'm focussing on doing less but better

My experience in creating space for just me

How I'm moving from 'powerful effort' to 'effortless power' in 2022 and beyond

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and it provides you with some useful insights into your own life lessons for 2022.

Wishing you hope, health and happiness for the year ahead.

As Christmas approaches it’s the season we’re meant to be being happy, joyous and fun – it’s ‘Merry Christmas’ after all.

But for many of us, it can lead to more stress and overwhelm.

I hear from so many women that they get exhausted and sick at this time of year.

So I wanted to share with you three Christmas burnout traps and how you can avoid them.

Because this year more than ever we are probably feeling that we’re on the brink of burnout. Christmas has a way of taking the overwhelm up a notch as working mums!

In this episode I share:

* How to prevent perfectionism stealing the joy of your Christmas

* How to prevent yourself becoming a Merry Martyr this Christmas

* How to give the gift of giving without it becoming a problem

I truly hope these insights help you to show up for yourself in a loving way so you can be there for your loved ones in the way you want to too.
